Cartoon shows journey of a “Martyr”

Cartoon published in the official PA daily

The cartoon is divided into two parts. On the right side, marked “2000,” a Palestinian boy is standing next to a grave, which has “Martyr, last will” written on its tombstone followed by the text of the will. On the left side, marked “2023,” a masked man – apparently the grown-up child from 2000 – is seen standing next to the same grave and thinking about the text on the tombstone. The cartoon apparently presents the masked man as being determined to carry out the “last will” of presumably his dead terrorist father to continue fighting against Israel.
